Abstract

For ff and gg polynomials in pp variables, we relate the special value at a non-positive integer s=Ns=-N, obtained by analytic continuation of the Dirichlet series ζ(s;f,g)=k1=0...kp=0g(k1,...,kp)f(k1,...,kp)s (\re(s)0), \zeta(s;f,g)=\sum_{k_1=0}^\infty ... \sum_{k_p=0}^\infty g(k_1,...,k_p)f(k_1,...,k_p)^{-s}\ \,(\re(s)\gg0), to special values of zeta integrals Z(s;f,g)=x[0,)pg(x)f(x)sdx (\re(s)0). Z(s;f,g)=\int_{x\in[0,\infty)^p} g(x)f(x)^{-s}\,dx \, \ (\re(s)\gg0). We prove a simple relation between ζ(N;f,g)\zeta(-N;f,g) and Z(N;fa,ga)Z(-N;f_a,g_a), where for a\Cp, fa(x)a\in\C ^p,\ f_a(x) is the shifted polynomial fa(x)=f(a+x)f_a(x)=f(a+x). By direct calculation we prove the product rule for zeta integrals at s=0s=0, degree(fh)Z(0;fh,g)=degree(f)Z(0;f,g)+degree(h)Z(0;h,g), \mathrm{degree}(fh)\cdot Z(0;fh,g)=\mathrm{degree}(f)\cdot Z(0;f,g)+\mathrm{degree}(h)\cdot Z(0;h,g), and deduce the corresponding rule for Dirichlet series at s=0s=0, degree(fh)ζ(0;fh,g)=degree(f)ζ(0;f,g)+degree(h)ζ(0;h,g). \mathrm{degree}(fh)\cdot\zeta(0;fh,g)=\mathrm{degree}(f) \cdot\zeta(0;f,g)+\mathrm{degree}(h)\cdot\zeta(0;h,g). This last formula generalizes work of Shintani and Chen-Eie.
